Going to North Stradbroke

Hi Everyone
Off to North Stradbroke for a week on Thursday with my wife to celebrate 44years married, I have convinced her that we can't go to Straddie without taking a couple of rods, and the yabbie pump, just in case we get the chance to have a fish, so I am putting my hand up for a bit of help as to where I might find a reliable yabbie bank, any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thankyou all
MSB

Commiserations on 44 years, I'm approaching 45 this year so am well aware of the issues of needing to go fishing but fortunately my wife pushes me out the door to go fishing but then when I come home like today she asks whether I'm nuts going out in all the wind and rain.

Bloody computers with auto spelling, thats supposed to be congratulations.

Congrats Ron, nice place to be at Straddy.
Be aware there are some rather big greenzones along the bay side of the island.
Many years ago we used to pump some yabbies near the Dunwich caravan park....unknown if they are still there or even if it now green zone.

Thanks Dignity, yep definitely congratulations, I am a lucky man the wife loves fishing, motor racing, NRL, and will even share a bottle of red with me, appreciate the post

Enjoy your week away.

Thanks Tony, I will check in front of the caravan park for a bank, thanks for the green zone tip, never gave it a thought

Sorry I cant help on the yabby bed front but perhaps catching some before you go and preserving them is an option? Or maybe google bait shops in the area and ask them? Better still they may sell bloodworms which I reckon are better whiting bait anyway?
